What we love about these Avocado Deviled Eggs

I love making these Avocado Deviled Eggs for a snack for myself throughout the week or to take to gatherings. Obviously the eggs themselves are a great source of protein, good fats, and many vitamins that our bodies need. Then add in avocado? We have a power house snack. Avocado is one of my favorite things to keep around the house for healthy fats, fiber, and some heart health benefits.

Key Ingredients for these Deviled Eggs Made with Avocado

  • Eggs- you guessed it
  • Avocado
  • Greek Yogurt

We used Greek Yogurt versus mayonnaise. But if your family still wants the mayo- you can definitely still use a light mayo or whipped dressing, too.

Traditional deviled egg recipes are highly seasoned with spices which is what deviled means. This version stays simple with salt and pepper but you definitely can add in the paprika or some other seasonings to spice it up a bit.
